Kevin Kaesviharn (the utility man): 11 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 INT ..........wow!

KK is easily one of my favorite players on the team. :bengal:A true football player. Seems to always be in the right position to make a play. I need an authentic orange Kaesviharn jersey.

From DII South Dakota, to the AFL, to the XFL, and now 6 years as a Bengal. The man has my utmost respect. I remember at one point people around here wanted to see him cut. Glad that never happened. Seems like every time there's an injury in the 2ndry KK adequately fills the hole.

So here's to KK :cheers:

Give it up for the CLEAN UP MAN!

K2 is definitely having a good year. 4 picks and 2 sacks so far this season, and both those are already career bests. On pace for 78 tackles which would be a career second-best, and that's with him missing 2 games so far.

Did anyone notice how much further south our pass defense went when Keanu went down against Atlanta? And lo and behold, he comes back and has an immediate impact. I'm not ready to send him to the pro bowl, but something can obviously be said for KKs experience and knack for being in the right place at the right time, and doing what the hell he's told. Example, on that pick, he lined up almost like a linebacker, and then took off towards the end zone at the snap. Perfectly disguised, Brees never saw him. (That was Bresnahan's scheme, by the by; when the defense stinks, its not all chuck, you still need smart players.)

The design of the play is simple.

The qb watches the closest zone defender to the intended receiver,

as soon as the defender moves toward the receiver to cover

the receiver curls around the defender and into the open area

the qb throws the ball to the spot as soon as he sees a defender

break toward the receiver

and the defender cant

reverse his momentum in time to stop the play

What KK has done 3 times is to stand in line with another defender

behind him that breaks on the receiver as KK breaks toward

the path of the ball a damn clever scheme that has fooled

smart qb's and Ben

a move we will probably see again

If KK had a little bit more athletic ability he would be just as good as John Lynch! Under no other coach than Marvin Lewis would Keas be the player he is today. Marv formed KK into the player that he is, a good player in the NFL. I hope we keep him for his whole career!

I actually think Lebeau deserves a ton of credit for KK. In fact, our defense was pretty decent while Lebeau was here.

KK is a solid backup and probably my favorite player due to his history.

I'm sorry guys, and I don't mean to rain on any ones parade but he still sucks to ME...yeah he is good in coverage when he has an endline behind him 10 yards away, but to cover that other 90 yards he gets toasted or ran the f**k over...I like all the endzone int's don't get me wrong, but meet someone in the hole 1 time in your life and not trying to drag them down once you let them run past you...

I hear what your saying but now.......... not to many backups are going to stick J. Lewis or Bettis in the hole. That being said, KK is a nice luxury for the Bengals. He can play either safety position or corner position, and nickel if necessary as well as special teams. There's is not that much of a drop off when KK is in the game. When M. Williams and Kim Herring went down, it was Ohalate that sucked it up for the Bengals, not KK.

You've hit the nail on the head here. He's something of a tweener -- not physical enough to play safety, not fast enough to play corner. As for the comment that only Ohhowican'ttackle stunk it up at safety last year, I'll respectfully disagree. KK was OK when Madieu was back there with him, but was exposed with his fellow backup out there.

KK is def one of my all time favorite Bengals, if not for his talent, but his heart. The guy proves his worth game in and game out. We're completely out of the playoff picture if not for the guy.

Bengalthem has it right, most of your backups are going to stick it to the big guys on a regular basis. But Keanu as the proverbial Sixth Man has proven his worth.

But this goes back to why our defense has had so many problems this year, and that reason is injuries. I mean, we lost our two-thirds of our starting linebackers for the whole season and probably forever, and Simmons for a good portion of the season. two-thirds of the replacements hadn't played an NFL snap before this year. No matter how good your coaches are, or how physically talented guys like Brooks or jeanty are, there is going to be a dropoff. This is probably where most pundits had the Bengals being without the injuries, so the fact that we are still in it with all the adversity is pretty darn good if you ask me.

I meant to say, Bengalthem has it right that most backups AREN"T going to stick it to the big guys on a regular basis. PIMF.

I'm a big Kaes fan. Whenever he plays well, I think of the post-game radio show at the end of his first season. I think it was Lance McAllister (but it could've been Gamble or Skinner, it's hard to keep the tools apart) who went off on him, basically saying, "he's a nice guy, nice story, but look, he won't be here next year, he's not an NFL quality player." Talk about being wrong.
